We came to Mountain View on leaving a site early because of noise from building works. We had a great welcome with the little dog rushing out to have his ball thrown. Settled in our super pitch - all grass which we actually like the best. Long reaching views over hills and a huge field for exercising dogs. We laughed as ours are two tiny little things. Its central here for so many places. We cycled/mobility scootered along the Montgomery Canal towpath, which is a haven for wildlife. We also did Trevor to Llangollen, and went over to the coast to ride the Mawddach Trail. This is a spectacular 9 mile route alongside the estuary and finishes with a very bumpy crossing on the famous wooden railway bridge. A day boat on the Llangollen Canal from Ellesmere was a highlight. Then we drove over Long Mynd and into the very pretty valley just outside Church Stratton. Altogether a busy week. Each day ending with a peaceful sit in the sun with a cup of tea and glass of wine. We were all alone in the field, and couldn’t imagine why this gem of a site is not fully booked all the time. Maybe people are put off by the mile approach from the main road, but that shouldn’t stop you from coming here. There is hardly any traffic and there are passing places. The locals understand totally that caravans do not go very well backwards ! We didn’t meet any, but were assured had we done so they would happily back up to the next passing place for us. Lastly our hostess told us where to get the best pies, the best coffee, the best fish and chips and good pubs to eat in. We don’t actually eat out but we took advantage of the offer to pop up and pick a few runner beans and courgettes for supper. If you want a quiet place, friendly hosts who are there but low profile, lots to do close by then Mountain View will suit you very well.
